Bust out your favorite party parrot: Slack has completed its first official step in the road to going public.
Slack published a blog post Monday stating that it had "confidentially submitted a draft registration statement" with the Securities and eroticism in horrorExchange Commission (SEC).

Goldman Sachs is still helping out with the direct listing, according to Reuters. The messaging platform could reportedly go public in Q2. Which means all of us could soon have the chance to share in the wealth that is animated .gifs in work chats.
